Detection of Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasma ovis in Melophagus ovinus from southern Xinjiang, China
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 865-870, December 2023., 2023 First report of the detection of Rickettsia massiliae DNA in M. ovinus. First report of the detection of Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae DNA in M. ovinus. Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae and Genotype III A. ovis can coexist in M. ovinus. Abstract Melophagus ovinus is a hematophagous insect that is distributed worldwide and plays a crucial role in ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 499-510, September 2023., 2023 A higher number of ticks was collected in suburban than in urban areas, being Ixodes frontalis the most commonly detected species. The results have significant implications for public health since most Rickettsia spp. detected are zoonotic. This is the first report of the detection of Borrelia spp. and Rickettsia spp.

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 485-497, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Wildlife is an important reservoir of zoonotic pathogens. The objective of the present study was to assess the importance of wild ungulates in the epidemiology of Rickettsia spp. Ticks and spleen samples were collected from 262 red deer (Cervus elaphus) and 83 wild boar (Sus scrofa) hunted in southwestern Spain over a 5‐year period.

Rickettsial pathogens drive microbiota assembly in Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus bursa ticks
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 16, Page 4660-4676, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Most tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) are secondarily acquired by ticks during feeding on infected hosts, which imposes ‘priority effect’ constraints, as arrival order influences the establishment of new species in a microbial community. Here we tested whether once acquired, TBPs contribute to bacterial microbiota functioning by increasing ...

Detecting zoonotic and non‐zoonotic pathogens in livestock and their ticks in Corsican wetlands
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2662-2677, November 2022., 2022 The objective of our study was to investigate the presence of pathogens in cattle and sheep farms in the wetlands of Corsica using a high‐throughput screening technique. Different pathogens were detected in ticks and animals, some of them being detected for the first time in Corsica or in the sampled animal breed. The result of this research will allow

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2943-e2951, September 2022., 2022 Abstract A scarcity of information on the occurrence of zoonotic vector‐borne pathogens (VBPs), alongside a lack of human and animal health authorities’ awareness of pre‐existing data, augment the risk of VBP infection for local people and limit our ability to establish control programs. This holds especially true in low‐middle income countries such as

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e82-e95, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) constitute an emerging public health concern favoured by multidimensional global changes. Amongst these, increase and spread of wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations are of special concern since this species can act as a reservoir of zoonotic pathogens and promote tick abundance.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e386-e393, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Citizen science may be described as a research involving communities and individuals, other than scientists. Following this approach, along with the evidence of a high prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in Dermacentor marginatus from wild boars in hunting areas of southern Italy, this study aimed to assess the occurrence of tick‐borne pathogens ...
